Call me an asshole, but at this point I just mock 9/11. Almost 3,000 people died over 14 years ago. I'm sure the U.S murders way more civilians every month in the Middle East. What makes an American civilian life more valuable than someone who happened to be born in the Middle East?
I texted my girlfriend "happy holidays" last Friday based on that scene. She got the joke immediately.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
9/11.
9/11 who?
You said you'd never forget!
And so on...
I don't think I've ever read a post here that rubbed me in such a wrong way as this one. I would like to invite you and your girl to step away from your cell phone and walk into a bar and tell this joke to a grown man who doesn't have a liberal arts degree. How about this, I'll buy your ticket to NYC and I'll even pay you a per diem if you say it to a fireman or a soldier.
